We're waiting for only a few more stories. I am harbouring fantasies of actually having Off-World Alphabet Soup up by the end of today. We'll see

"I must confess to being just a tad disappointed that no one took the opportunity to link to a favorite story"

AO3 was completely offline for about 5 hours yesterday, which may explain the interruption in posting/rec'ing. ??? If they hadn't tweeted status updates, I would've panicked over not being able to post the final chapter of a Stargate collab I'd recently finished.


"We're looking into what's causing the current downtime. Our apologies!"

Last night's AO3 outage created some pretty hilarious panic across fandom at large

" oh my god wait is Livejournal actually crashing right now because all of Tumblr is flocking to it to get their fic fix because AO3 is down??"

Sorry to hear you've been disappointed

I've posted a comment, but apparently (?) it was identified as spam according to your journal settings, so, I'm not sure if it shows up for anyone but me?

Urgh, I HATE that when happens. It's LJ throwing a temper tantrum when you link to off-site URLs, but it only occurs sometimes. Don't ask me.

I'm not all that disappointed - so many good new fic, yay! - put part of the fun is having stuff besides the Soup. So thanks for contributing. :)
